What brand cylinders does DirDirect supply?

We supply Faber, Luxfer, BTS and MES cylinders which will be stated in individual product descriptions.

What checks do you do before sending out cylinders?

All cylinders received from manufacturers are filled to their working pressure on arrival, and their valves and any manifolds are tested to ensure everything is in working order and there is no leak. On twinsets we also check the position of twinning bands and bolts to align with backplates correctly. O2 and any required VIP stickers are sent together with a sticker confirming the empty cylinder you receive has been tested as above.

How do you ship cylinders for UK delivery?

Cylinders are shipped empty as stated above. Single tanks are sent in individual boxes and are ready to be filled. Twinsets are boxed up assembled, with centre manifold facing down, to prevent accidental damage during transport. Boxes are clearly marked to be transported flat to avoid damage to valves.

Do I need to do anything for twinset deliveries?

Yes, we would appreciate your assistance due to the volume and weight of the shipment and because even leading courier services often use only one driver. Other than cautionary labels, twinset boxes will have a label asking the driver to notify the recipient on arrival to assist with delivery if possible. We would also appreciate it if you inspected the box against any damage and not sign for it if there is any visible damage.

As mentioned in the previous QA, twinset centre manifolds will be turned inwards during shipment. When you receive the twinset you will need to turn it to the position you like and do up the left and right nuts towards the valves to secure it.

Do you ship cylinders outside of mainland UK?

Yes we do. But you need to contact us by email with a delivery address, so we can give you a quote for shipping fees. Twinsets dispatched outside of UK mainland are sent disassembled so you would need to organise for assembly on your side. Single tanks may also have their valve removed due to transport restrictions. Please contact us prior to placing any order for cylinders outside of mainland UK.

What happens if my cylinder is damaged during transport?

Please inspect the delivery and refuse to sign for it if there is any visual damage to the parcel. If the contents are found to be damaged after delivery, be sure to contact us ASAP so we can resolve the issue without further inconvenience. Twinset orders should be carefully examined due to their size and weight.
